    2. the capacity of each receptacle is less than 12 L;

    3. each receptacle has a minimum burst pressure of

      1. at least 3 times the working pressure, when the receptacle is fitted with a relief device, or

      2. at least 4 times the working pressure, when the receptacle is not fitted with a relief device;

    4. each receptacle is manufactured from material that will not fragment upon rupture;

    5. each detector is manufactured under a quality assurance program;

    6. the detectors are transported in strong outer means of containment; and

    1. the conditions set out in paragraphs (1)(a) to (e) are met; and

  3. These Regulations, except for Parts 1 and 2, do not apply to radiation detectors that contain these dangerous goods in non-refillable pressure receptacles, including detectors in radiation detection systems, if the detectors meet the requirements of subsection (1) or (2), as applicable, and the capacity of the receptacles that contain the detectors is less than 50 mL.
